The scientist predicts among other things that In IM'JO A. !>. all public thoroughfares and parks will be un derground, vehicles will be run by wireless, telephone** will carry an at tachment enabling the speakers to see each other, and all roads will be as smooth as billiard balls. I)r. Low, | who Invented a motor scooter and bus piyaluced an apparat us for seeing simple objects by wire. In a recent Interview In London said In part : "When a man sets out for business ho will not proceed, us he does now, by tramway car or train; lie will pass along delightful avenues underneath the surface of the earth. Parks and all other places' of public resort and beauty will be roofed In. "Motor cars and all motor vehicles will proceed by wireless power and not by-fho crude method of using petrol. They will be fitted up like luxuriously appointed drawing ronjns and will be driven at a rate of one hundred miles an hour. Wireless telephones will be Installed In the cars, as well as every kind of appointment making for luxury and comfort. Many people will own these ,cars. "People will live In a condition of splendid physical Isolation.
